Three course links opened simultaneously, locked "together" and now all three are "highlighed" and won't open separately
Multiple links became highlighted and linked together. When I try to launch just one of the links, it will not open individually - in fact, none of the links will open at all. When I enter one of the URLs manually, a new tab appears labeled "Connecting" with a continually spinning circle of death. The URL changes to "about:blank" and the page remains empty. I'm a first time Firefox user and I have no idea how to even approach a solution. I'm working on deadline and am desperate. Can some p-l-e-a-s-e help?
